Question
My father is 65 years old, and after every dinner, he always feels nausea and wants to vomit. He eats only to the point of being slightly full, not from overeating. Recently, he has also noticed that his face looks very yellow and he seems very tired. Even without eating spicy or warm foods, he often complains of stomach discomfort. What should be done if a senior citizen experiences disordered spleen and stomach again?
Answer
From a Western medical perspective, this situation should indicate some symptoms in the digestive system. This suggests that there may be diseases related to the digestive system, such as inflammation or chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and other related diseases that are common in the elderly. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo a thorough examination in the digestive department of a hospital, such as undergoing a gastroscopy, abdominal MRI, liver function tests, and other relevant examinations. Then, according to different causes, adopt different treatment plans.
